    12 seconds, see Jokic after the bucket. He was like “good gracious Murray you were such an embarrassment”

    This was a better play (especially seeing live) but the call is not as epic

    The best part was after Harden hesitates and hits the 3... the Nuggets players on the court were stunned. Jokic especially had no clue how to react.

    This was a better move/shot. However.... “Clean up on aisle 3” was way more epic for the pure savagery. Do you all forget us breaking the clip down frame by frame and finding Easter eggs like Harden licking his lips before burying the shot? Do you forget that shot was all over sports media and arguably his MVP “moment”? Tonight’s shot was great. But wasn’t as big as “clean up”. I’ll be shocked if it gets mentioned outside the regular game highlights. Especially since he already had his “moment” two games ago at Oracle.

    Oh, I'll be posting those. That games was a gold-mine for hand-checking on Harden.

    Although Hand-checking never happens in the NBA anymore :rolleyes:, even when it does happen o_O, it doesn't make a difference to Harden :cool:...that's why everyone thinks it doesn't happen anymore, because there are no highlights of it working. ;)

    This whole sequence was insane. One minute he's at 4 points and the next he's at 18. It had to be some kind of record.

    Maybe the radio call is better.

    Not surprised, James is Galactus in a Rockets uniform. Devourer of kings, souls, chefs and donkeys.

    Go get that Chip. Disney be calling. ;)

    Wesley but too bad CA wasn't on the call for this one (too).

    (Well maybe he had it on radio.)

    It wasn’t that great, let’s not go overboard.

    Of course, I came out of my seat when I saw it, but I kinda feel this way too. Seems more like Murray slipped on a wet spot at the same time James happened to go behind the back...wasn't really an ankle breaker type crossover move.

    Seriously, it gets old hearing, "OHHH haRDeN WiTh a CoooOOOLd-bLOodEd ThREEeeEe!!!" after every single made shot. I distinctly remember hearing him say it after a Harden shot that was clearly NOT a 3 in one game. It's the only call he's got, and he overuses it like crazy.
